Racism and Antiracism Education

How would teachers respond if they overheard a white pupil telling a racist joke? What if the joke were told by a fellow teacher? This program looks at issues that have stirred the education establishment of late. Should the curriculum have a multicultural base? Should schools formulate educational policy based on race? What is the role and what are the rights of parents in the choice of what their children are taught in school? Moderated by Harvard Law professor Charles Nesson, the program looks at issues specific to contemporary England but applicable to the U.S. Participants include a Muslim leader, a college vice principal, and the directors of education for the Commission for Racial Equality and a London borough. (58 minutes)
